Note: Didn't know we were showing presents on the blog before the big day (or I could have shown you this!) I was not expecting Des to give me a hexagon caddy.

Thank you! It's much appreciated!

I loved every step of making the doll until I got to the hair. I was really whining at Deanne. My yarn choice was thick & it took a lot of yanking & a latex glove to pull that hair through. There's some stuffing or is it grey hair peeking out?

Wanted her to look like the cover girl --

found a vintage pillowcase on eBay & it was almost identical!

I did the arms & legs a little different. I inserted them into the seams & seamed the bottom of the hands & feet. Seems a little more durable.

I love this book, I made one of these dolls last year, she was a princess and the pea doll, made a bunch of mattresses, I too found the hair to be very tricky....my daughters dolls head looks a little lopsided because of it, good job sister!

I LOVE her soooo much. I love the hair, i love the dress, i love her cute little red lips, I love her skinny arms and legs. Well, shoot, she's pretty much a replica of ME!! I. Love. Her. and YOU! Thank you!! Such a treat!!!!!

Glad you like it! You can find the book on amazon. I got it from our library -- none of my distributors carry it?? I did make one more for a friend's daughter. She looks very similar ;), I guess they are triplets -- a long lost sister.

corrie...i just checked this book out of the library thinking about this doll. oddly enough though, I can't find the pattern (other than the head) in my book?? does your book have the pattern for the body???
